Back At It. Again.

Doesn’t it feel like I’m writing one of these posts every 6 months? Like when am I gonna hit my goal and write my celebratory post? I don’t know. But I do know that I’m not going to give up until I reach my goal.

I keep forgetting that. I’ll lose a pound or two, or I’ll hit my 10,000 step goal a couple of times and get complacent. I have to keep it moving. And I have to keep eating right.

I prefer the Chocolate Royale followed by the French Vanilla. The Strawberries and Cream left a weird aftertaste. My dinners consist of whatever the girls make…

Being a librarian is one of those jobs where you can either be on your feet all day or on your butt, so I make a concentrated effort to move.

I’ll be posting my stats the second Monday of the month and linking up with Fatima at Off the Potomac for Operation Snap Back at the end of the month. Feel free to follow Operation Snap Back on Instagramfor photographic inspiration.

Last week was a total fail. I was on vacation with my family and wasn’t as aware of my eating habits as […]
